Florence Man Enlists Whitewater Attorney
Ken Starr to Challenge S.C. Tattoo Ban

By ERIC KENNETH WARD

Ron White takes his art seriously. At a burly 6 feet 4 inches and 240 pounds, White casts an imposing presence, in black shorts and spectacles, black T-shirt and black ink.


On the scorching early afternoon of June 13, an American flag flaps in a light breeze on the porch of White’s home in Florence. He answers a knock at the door with a smile and a firm handshake. “Nice to meet you,” he says, motioning toward his living room. “Come on in.”


By happenstance, a few months ago Starr’s international law firm — Kirkland & Ellis — found out about South Carolina’s long-running ban on tattooing. After talking with White, Starr agreed to challenge the prohibition on constitutional grounds in federal court, according to White and a knowledgeable source with the firm. “The guy is a brilliant attorney,” White says of Starr, adding that the firm is taking the case pro bono. “He is extremely assertive and confident.”

Seems Ken's little sex romp investigation into the private life of Bill Clinton didn't win him any prestige at his lawfirm.

:rofl:

6. Poor Ken, if he hadn't been such a partisan, zealous Investigator...
...He'd probably be on the Supreme Court.

11. Eh a million here a million there (depends on who you ask)
The costs stemmed from the Whitewater investigation, which lasted more than seven years and cost the government $70 million.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-07-15-clintons-whitewater_x.htm

RICHARD BEN-VENISTE: Well, it doesn't add up, and the bank failure was certainly not the direct product of this Whitewater investment. Moreover, 52 or 58, whichever figure you hear in millions, it doesn't sound like much if you say it fast in Washington. But that's only the direct cost. The indirect costs are a multiple of that, in terms of the diversion, the time spent, the cost to individuals, the payment of attorney fees by honest government employees who have been put through the wringer, called before the grand jury repeatedly and harassed, these are some of the excesses that occurred during the course of this investigation which at the cost of substantial credibility I'm sorry to say for the federal investigatory process.
